New Pride and Prejudice and Zombies still of Lily James as Elizabeth Bennet; film set for a U.S. theater release date of February 2016

The firstPride and Prejudice and Zombiessolo still ofLily James (Cinderella, Downton Abbey) as a well-armed with sword Elizabeth Bennet (See pic above!) has been released recently through the facebook page of PPZ film's production company, Cross Creek Pictures. The movie is currently in post-production and wrapped up filming around November 2014 (if I have to go by this Lily James Instagram PPZ slate image as the last time she posted about filming the movie) with Screen Gems acquired the distribution rights for its U.S. theatrical release. Sony Pictures Worldwide will
distribute the movie in Latin America, Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and
Iceland; the feature is also being shopped around to other international
territories. Since then, there hasn't been any news about this movie, until just recently with a new still of Lily's Elizabeth Bennet (above) and Sony's Screen Gems has scheduled PPZ for a February 19, 2016 theatrical release date, according to Deadline and as listed at Box Office Mojo. It's interesting that they slated this movie for a 2016 release and not this year as they had previously planned. They could've milked Lily Jame's current Cinderella movie's success to market and promote this film for a later late summer or early Fall (as in Halloween) 2015. Why wait for another year? That seems like a long time (even though it's early next year). Hmm...(but then again, I'm glad it's not released this year as 2015 is 10th year anniversary of P&P 2005 movie and 20th anniversary of P&P 1995 TV miniseries)...As previously posted here, the first image from the upcomingPride and Prejudice and Zombies (which started filming last September 24th, 2014) was released last October 2014 via EW, and the photo was of the Bennet sisters: Elizabeth (Lily James), Lydia (Ellie Bamber), Mary (Millie Brady), Jane (Bella Heathcote), and Kitty (Suki Waterhouse).

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

Based on the bestselling novel, PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
AND ZOMBIES begins filming last September 2014 under director Burr Steers and
starring Lily James, Sam Riley and Bella Heathcoate. The screenplay
adaptation is written by five-time Academy Award-nominee David O.
Russell (SILVER LININGS PLAYBOOK, AMERICAN HUSTLE), Marti Noxon,
executive producer and writer of the cult hit television series BUFFY
THE VAMPIRE SLAYER and director Burr Steers.

A publishing phenomenon, the novel PRIDE AND PREJUDICE
AND ZOMBIES parodies Jane Austen's original classic by adding
"unmentionables," or zombies, to such beloved characters as Elizabeth
Bennet and Mr. Darcy. The book was an instant success, selling more
than 1.5 million copies, appearing on the New York Times Bestseller List
for more than 41 weeks, and spawning not just prequel and sequel novels
but an entire industry of horror parodies.

Another first look has been released (above photo by Robert Viglasky via Sundance Institute) of Keira Knightley, this time in her other upcoming film Colette, in which she stars with Dominic West. Keira plays the title role as a French novelist, Colette, overcomes an abusive marriage to emerge as a
leading writer in her country and a candidate for the Nobel Prize in
Literature.

The film will world premiere at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival in mid January 2018.

It is a truth universally acknowledged that the most successful film adaptation (I'm talking about the film version released in Theaters/Cinemas not the TV Mini-series version) ofJane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, Joe Wright's 2005Pride & Prejudice film (which was nominated for 4 Oscars including Best Actress for its lead star Keira Knightley; 2 Golden Globe including Best Actress nomination for Knightley; and 6 BAFTA nominations including The Carl Foreman Award for Special Achievement by a British Director) has the best ensemble cast. The main cast of P&P movie are incredible and multi-talented. Some of them have been working steady and continued to get recognized on
their own in various stage plays, television and film projects they've
done since their P&P movie was released a decade ago this month.
